Applicants whose application materials pass the review will then be eligible to take the entrance examination (the Seminary will arrange the examination date flexibly according to each applicant’s individual circumstances).
Domestic applicants are advised to follow the Seminary’s recommendation to attend the first-stage interview and written examination at a designated examination venue.

Examination Content

Written Examination (100–120 minutes):
The examination covers the Bible and consists of two sections: the Old Testament and the New Testament. For the 2026 academic year admissions, the Old Testament section will cover the Pentateuch (the Five Books of Moses), while the New Testament section will cover the Four Gospels. The content includes general Bible knowledge, the main themes of each book, important biblical historical events, and foundational Christian doctrines. The exam format is multiple-choice questions.
In addition, an interpersonal relationship and personality assessment will be conducted during the written examination stage in order to understand the applicant’s interpersonal skills and basic personality traits.
Interview (60–90 minutes):
Applicants who pass the written examination will be scheduled for an interview on a later date. Married applicants are required to have their spouse attend as well. Applicants who do not meet the admission standards in the interview will not be admitted regardless of their written examination results.
